Rebreather diving in the Galapagos, run by local CCR guides
Diving the Galapagos on CCR gets the most out of every dive: longer bottom times and, with no bubbles, closer encounters with hammerhead schools, Galapagos sharks, whale sharks in season, marine iguanas, penguins and sea lions.

What divers say about us
“An incredible week of CCR diving. Absolutely exceeded my expectations. Javier and Eduardo were constantly looking for opportunities to give us the best dives possible… I felt 100% confident that they could handle whatever situation might arise.”
Linda Parker, Google review
“I have worked with Javier and Galapagos Rebreathers on a high-end private expedition and on a shark-tagging research project. Both involved complex logistics, and Javier delivered safe, competent and highly efficient services every time.”
Rannva Joermundsson, Google review
“Coming to Galapagos several times over two years filming a feature-length natural history film, Javier had everything we need to support our rebreather-diving needs, from softnolime to cylinders to the booster… an excellent guide… one of my favourite dives ever!”

Our story
Everyone said Galapagos was not a place for rebreathers. Too complicated, too expensive, nobody will pay for it, you are going to die. We decided to try anyway.
We grew up watching our family run dive operations in the islands, filling tanks one psi at a time. In 2009 we set out to build the rebreather support that didn't exist here — oxygen, sorbent, cylinders, boosting, and guides who understand the units — and we have been running CCR expeditions ever since.
Since then, we have run more than 15 CCR liveaboard trips for over 120 divers, and supported natural history film crews and research teams with rebreather logistics, safety diving, and camera work:
Film: BBC and National Geographic/Disney+ productions including Secret Life of Penguins, Animals Up Close with Bertie Gregory, Guardians of the Galápagos, and Eden: Untamed Planet
Science: whale shark and hammerhead tagging with the Galapagos Whale Shark Project and the Charles Darwin Foundation
It started with a boat full of cylinders and a grandfather who didn’t listen when people said it couldn’t be done. We’re still following his lead.
